It has been nearly a decade since the originalGuardians of the GALAXY film gave us a talking tree man who can only say three words. Though Groot later sacrificed himself in that movie and has since re-grown up to the point of being a teenager, it was Baby Groot that stayed with people. Disney wants to remind you of when he was a little widdle tree kid because it's a cute looking sidekick that can always be used to sell toys.
I Am Groot is a series of shorts that will end the clock back to the beginning of the movie to show Baby Groot getting into his own mistakes. The first poster for the series shows Groot chilling on Walkman while two little creatures watch him, no doubt ready to give him some grief and try to out-cute him. The release date for the series is August 10, just a week before She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Maybe we will see a trailer this week, just so we know what level of mischievous cuteness the series will be operating on.
The live action holiday special will be the second project coming to Disney+ after I Am Groot. The special was made during the production of the third film in the series and serves as a nice introduction to what is to come in that film. He will be in the movie with the rest of the group. We don't know which Groot we'll get with the holiday specials and film. We could get a return of Teen Groot, or we could end up with a college age Groot who is so lucky that he doesn't even study. They will have to choose between being second or third place to this little monster.
